This is the reason as hosts we show our financials to state that we wouldn’t be doing anything as such or going down under. There are so many reputed families that just want to invite their relatives over, and many are reputed applicants that have good jobs, home, maids, good everything that they don’t want to settle in Canada just to become a donkey and get in the rat race LOL.It costs more to process applications than Canada charges so not a moneymaker at all. They need to show liquid funds. They should show their investments as well and shouldn’t liquidate investments to apply but proof of liquid funds is what is the most important. It is important because there have been cases where families or friends fought or faced their own financial emergency and then refused to have visitors remain in their home and refused/couldn’t to pay for their plane ticket home or cancelled the return ticket. People were left in Canada seeking help to be able to get a hotel and help paying for a flight home. Canada wants to make sure this doesn’t happen.
Hence I said IRCC has no clue on how to evaluate properly. It’s not the first time they’ve done something like this, and we for a fact know someone in my family earning 1.3 crore rupees per year, has 7 properties given on rent, so much investments etc, and working as EVP in a big company, US visa, NZ visa, Australia, UK, and Thailand, got the same rejection. Re-applied, got approved in 7 days.
